If missing teeth have been impacting your confidence recently, then now is the time to address it. Just as there are many different causes of tooth loss, there are also multiple treatments available to replace missing teeth, and we offer a variety of options at our specialist dental spa.
From replacing one tooth to an entire set, our treatments restore so much more than just your teeth. They give you back your confidence, your smile, and your abilities to eat, speak, and laugh, and you can find out all about these treatments and their life-changing results by reading on.
Crowns
When it comes to replacing missing teeth, either for cosmetic or functional reasons, a tooth-coloured crown is usually all that is needed to restore the appearance of your smile.
These porcelain or ceramic crowns are colour-matched with your remaining teeth to look as natural as possible and fitted over an existing tooth structure, so there is also no need to wait until the tooth is completely gone before seeking our help.
If the remaining tooth is not strong enough to support the new crown then we will need to implant a post into your jaw to act as the artificial structure. Similarly, even if the tooth is still in place but has been chipped, ground down, or heavily filled, then we highly recommend having your teeth crowned to prevent further damage and restore a natural-looking smile.
Bridges
If you have one or more missing teeth then a dental bridge is a great way to replace missing teeth in one go. As the name suggests, this treatment bridges a gap in your smile by combining two permanent crowns and an artificial tooth to fill in the space left behind, and also helps to support your remaining teeth by preventing them from shifting around in the gums or falling into the gap.
As is the case with crowns, this treatment works best when there are enough healthy teeth to support the structure, as the crowns are bonded to your natural teeth on either side of the gap to support the artificial tooth. The bridges are permanently fixed in place, meaning you won’t have to worry about them shifting around or need to take them out before eating, but if you have quite a few missing teeth then an implant-supported bridge is the best choice for you.
Dental Implants
If you’re looking for a more permanent solution that often lasts a lifetime, then dental implants are the go-to treatment.
Whilst other options are available to replace missing teeth and restore the look of your smile, implants deliver strong, long-lasting results that function exactly like natural teeth. To achieve this restoration, a surgical procedure is required to provide a stable base for the implant deep within the jaw, consisting of a titanium post, abutment, and a custom crown that work together to mimic the structure of a natural tooth root.
This in turn strengthens the jaw and prevents the loss of bone density or damage to the surrounding teeth. It also does not require the existing teeth to be altered or used as part of the structure in any way, making it a great option for patients looking to replace teeth without compromising their overall oral health.
Full Arch Implants
In the past, the treatment for extensive tooth loss was often limited to dentures or one-off implants, but no more. Advancements in restorative dentistry, particularly implant dentistry, mean that we are now able to replace multiple teeth in one go with a single set of implants.
Full arch implants, including All-on-4 implants and even All-on-6 implants, will deliver the results that you are looking for without compromising on aesthetics, functionality, or convenience. They have revolutionised the implant process, as they require just four implants (or posts) within the jaw to hold the new crowns in place without needing any bone grafting, and the surgical procedure for the entire set is completed in just one day.
This fixed, immovable solution replaces a full set of teeth just as quickly as a single tooth and significantly restores the stability and appearance of your teeth, so contact us today to find out what our implant solutions offer you.
Emergency Treatment
Gradual tooth loss is a horrible experience for anyone to go through, but losing a tooth unexpectedly in an accident comes with an added layer of pain and fear.
At Riverside Dental Spa, we do everything we can to alleviate the distress caused by sudden tooth loss by offering emergency dental appointments for all patients. These kinds of emergencies cannot be planned for which is why we aim to see all emergency patients within 24 hours, and our team is equipped to support you through any breakages, damage or tooth loss.
Depending upon the severity of your injury and treatment required you may need to attend further appointments to fully solve the issue, but rest assured that you will leave your appointment with either a fixed tooth or a treatment plan detailing next steps.
